On Friday night, the New York Liberty host the league's worst team in terms of record. The San Antonio Stars won't win 10 games this season, but they may try to win more than one game on the road. That'll be a tough task as they take on a Liberty team headed for a top-four spot in the postseason with a great record on their home court. Tina Charles and company will look to tonight's game for another win to bring them closer to the Eastern Conference-leading Connecticut Sun. Here's the latest WNBA game preview with odds, start time, TV channels, and live streaming options.
WNBA game preview
The New York Liberty have already clinched at least the No. 4 spot in the WNBA Playoffs, but could grab Connecticut's No. 3 seed with a combination of wins and Connecticut losses in the final games of the season. For the Liberty, a win over the San Antonio Stars seems like it should be easy work as they are just 1-14 when playing away from home, while New York holds a dominant 12-4 advantage at Madison Square Garden.
The San Antonio Stars have a 7-25 record and with two games to play, could end up worst in the league, or tied for worst in the league with Indiana. However, the Stars will need to win both of their remaining games for a chance at tying the Fever who are currently 9-24.
At this point in the season, that probably doesn't matter a whole lot, as both teams should be in the running for high WNBA Draft picks ahead of next season.
In terms of odds for tonight's game, the home team is the clear favorite. New York is listed as 13-point favorites on the spread, and as much as -1000 on the moneyline.
Tonight's visitors are +650 underdogs at several sportsbooks, while the over/under points total is 149.5 points for the complete game. The Liberty have gone 6-4 in their last 10 meetings with San Antonio, although the Stars captured a win exactly one month ago, 93-81 at home against New York.
